They dont know what the internet is and/or they had been bought out. See how only 10 people debated on the last vote and 22 people voted no? this is pathetic... This is how American politics works on nearly every issue. Few senators have actually read the entire bill they're voting on they're just told by their aides, their party, their constituents, and the people financing them how they should vote. They then weigh all of that with how public opinion will perceive their vote and vote accordingly. | ||
